The comment confirms what Klaus already knew. Obi-Wan would never ask to replace Dave in any sense. He only wants to be allowed in Obi-Wan's heart alongside of Dave, and he has been. They exist there together, in the same way Satine and Klaus exist within Obi-Wan's.
He nods and sniffles a bit, wiping at his eyes before reaching back to lift the dog tags over his head. It's the first time that he's purposely taken them off that he can remember, and he holds them in his palm, rubbing the pad of his thumb over Dave's name. He lifts the new tag from its box and rests it in his palm next to the others, smiling and wrinkling his nose as more tears threatens to fall.
And then he looks at the date on the tag again, brows furrowing as he huffs out an amused breath, looking over at Obi-Wan again. "I've known you for longer than I knew him. Loved you just as long. Ten months."
He's known Obi-Wan for longer than that. A whole year now, which is wild enough on it's own, but ten months since he said those words. "Wow."
